Workshop at Handmade movement

Maybe because I am on the radar these days for such events, but it seems to me that Singapore is having a lot of arts/ crafty movements.

We had the opportunity to facilitate a workshop at the Handmade movement fair at Fort Canning. While we were hoping for a fine day and an opportunity for the girls to roll around in the grass after the workshop, it was a very rainy day.

But despite the rain, a number of people showed up for the workshop

I set them to work in families

And there was a fair bit of mother/ son, father daughter bonding as the participants put skewers and styrofoam together to create sculptures

Here is husband, who has very good crafting skills, when he puts them to use

There were a lot of dogs, and in addition to helping me to facilitate, which is becoming quite a passion for Anjali, she also enjoyed playing with the dogs.

Right next to us, there was a community art project aspiring to make a giant quilt. We had to wait a while before setting up, as the previous workshop was still going on. We also couldnt go out much since the tents were not connected, and it was very rainy.

So the girls tried their hand at sewing, and Sophia got pretty good at it, even though the needle was a sharp one

Here is a sculpture created by a mother daughter team.

I got a new phone and it was a very good camera. I am glad, because I can take photos of Anjali on close up without worrying about the Coat's eye.

On 4th April 2007, Anjali Curic was born, changing our lives forever. From happy, to tearful, to harassed, to jubiliant, our lives have gone through a specrum of emotions, most of which can be attributed to her.

I guess, as parents, we have too much help and not enough to do, so on 18th January 2009, the stork hand delivered Sophia. Centering, sweet, smiling, Sophia is as concentrated as Anjali is diverse, as contemplative as Anjali is energetic, and it is a sure pleasure to watch them both.

We thank God for the blessing of these two wonderful girls. There are times that we do want to pull our hairs apart, but all in all, we have been blessed with them
